OutlookReason for studying ttH channel

Study of the data acquisition

• Current Higgs mass limits

• The role of the LHC collider

• CMS data acquisition system

• The Level 1 Trigger

• The High Level Trigger (HLT) ttH in fully

Higgs mass previsionFrom Lep measures Higgs mass > 114.1 GeV at 95% C.L.

With the new world average for:

MH<251 GeV (2 ) 95% C.L.

Mtop = (178.0 ± 4.3) GeV

And the best estimate for Higgs mass is:

MH=117 GeV

Conclusions• With the L1 Trigger (4 jets with ET>50 GeV) we obtain65% signal efficiency at ~200 Hz of QCD rate.

• With the High Level Trigger we can decrease the QCD rate to 30 Hz still selecting 60% of signal events.

…next steps

Study the offline reconstruction and estimate the signal significance with respect to the resonant backgrounds.
